Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 773 dated June 17, 2026, is aimed at updating the regulatory framework in the field of the use of settlement transaction registrars (RRO) and software-based RROs. The document brings current government acts into compliance with the modern names of ministries and the terminology of legislation on payment services, and clarifies the conditions for exempting certain business entities from the mandatory use of RROs. The amendments are of a technical and legal nature and ensure the consistency of subordinate acts with the current laws of Ukraine.
**Structure and main provisions:**
The Resolution consists of three sections that introduce targeted amendments to three key government acts:
1. Resolution No. 1336 (list of types of activities exempt from RRO): the names of bodies have been updated, and geographical and industry criteria have been clarified (in particular, references to urban-type settlements and certain types of maritime transport have been excluded).
2. Resolution No. 601 (technical maintenance of RROs): editorial removal of redundant references has been carried out.
3. Resolution No. 149 (requirements for the fiscal functions of self-service software and hardware complexes): references to relevant legislation have been updated (replacement of the Law “On Payment Systems…” with the Law “On Payment Services”) and terminology regarding regulatory authorities has been updated.
**Most important provisions for practical application:**
* **Change in terminology:** It is important for businesses to take into account the transition to new terminology (for example, “inland water transport” instead of “river transport”), which affects the correct application of exemptions regarding the use of settlement books.
* **Updating of legal grounds:** All references to legislation on payment services now correspond to the current Law “On Payment Services,” which is critical for operators of self-service software and hardware complexes.
* **Clarification of the scope of RRO exemption:** The exclusion of references to “urban-type settlements” in items 17 and 22 of the list No. 1336 narrows or changes the conditions for the application of RROs for the respective business entities, which requires verification of the current status of their exemption from the use of cash registers.
